On February 15, 2007, the State Board of
Education recognized 51 recipients of the
National Board for Teacher Certification.
Among the recipients were 5 school librarians
from across the state’s public school districts.
The speakers for the evening included Jean Allen,
State Board of Education President; Valerie
Woodruff, State Secretary of Education; and Pat
Bigelow, Associate for National Certification
Candidate Support. Today more than 1600
librarians are National Board Certified. As
leaders in their schools, they are in a unique
position to transform teaching and
learning. National Board Certification is a
nationally accepted sign of quality in the
education profession and offers a nationwide
standard for evaluating and encouraging quality
teaching. It is a way to recognize and reward the
accomplished librarians and teachers needed to
build competitive, world-class schools.

by all staff members. We made special note that
these staff may need “assistance” growing with
the times.
Our role as Emerging Leaders is to
emerge in new realms and birth new ideas. We
are to try and satisfy each need and develop a
way to educate and promote this millennial
movement. We recognized that most people who
are afraid of technology are really afraid of
change; however, we, as millennial librarians,
will need to learn how to address this critical
issue. We have to help in bridging the gap,
largely due to changes in staff and leadership in
the library realm.
The Emerging Leaders participants discussed
ways for millennial librarians to cross
generational barriers between patrons and other
staff members. Emphasis was placed on being
open-minded to change, thereby preventing us
from becoming what we do not like being viewed
as from the “historically” erroneous perception of
librarians: Be flexible, be creative and always try
something new -- Three things “we” as Emerging
Leaders must grasp.
In conclusion, this program clearly demonstrates
the ALA’s commitment to investing in the
complete preparation of the newer librarian to be
a millennial leader. The in-depth involvement and
concepts that we as participants will gain will
overflow into our workplace. The 100 Emerging
Leaders program is a program with much
potential. Since this is the first year of the
program, it is clear that, with time and continued
stabilization, the program will become more
valuable in preparing and drawing out the best
out of new librarians. If you’d like more

The role of the librarian in the 21st century is
changing and will continue to change because of
technology. The 100 Emerging Leaders Program,
sponsored by the American Library Association,
had its kick-off celebration at the ALA Mid-
Winter Meeting in Seattle, WA January 19-24th.
This program is a step in the right direction
towards addressing issues and enhancing the
skills of new librarians as they become millennial
leaders. Being a millennial leader goes beyond
the traditional way of running the library,
encompassing how we will respond to society’s
need for the provision of information in the 21st
century.
Our first Emerging Leaders meeting was an
awesome experience. The wealth of information
that was shared during the meeting helped to
broaden our individual concepts as to where the
library institution is going as a whole. There was
so much passion and energy in the room, making
it easy for each to feed off of the other. Each
conversation helped us to further develop
alternative ways to become more effective
librarians now and in the future.
The Friday events at the ALA Midwinter Meeting
were the start of new beginnings. On that day,
we, the participants of the 100 Emerging Leaders,
met face-to-face for the first time. We were given
the chance to brainstorm, mingle, compare ideas,
and grow as librarians. The day-long session
covered many topics relevant to the continued life
of libraries. We realized that the library is going
through a metamorphosis. The change is not only
affecting the physical structure of the library but
it is affecting how the library is meeting the needs
of the community. As the world continues to turn
to technology, our role as an information center is
changing. As a result, the library staff is being
forced to learn new things and address issues
differently. And, during our meeting, we realized
that there would be those staff members who do
not like this obvious change and will need
assistance in growing with the times. This change
although necessary may not be readily embraced

The Tri-State College Library Cooperative
(TCLC), with 43 member libraries in
southeastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and
Delaware, celebrated its fortieth anniversary at a
Ruby Gala held Saturday, April 21. Dozens of
TCLC members and their guests gathered at
Cabrini College, Radnor, PA to dance to sixties
tunes, compete on baby boomer trivia questions,
and bid on raffle items. The Ruby Gala raised
over $1,000 for the Sister Mary Dennis Lynch
Scholarship Fund, which assists TCLC members
with grants for professional development.
Presented at the Gala were TCLC's premier
"Spirit of Cooperation" Awards, designed to
honor individuals who have given exemplary
service to the organization. James L. Sauer,
Library Director at Eastern University, St.
Davids, PA, and Kathleen Mulroy, Library
Director at Gwynedd-Mercy College, Gwynedd
Valley, PA, were recognized with these awards
for their dedicated committee service, excellent
ideas, and hard work.
Founded by twelve library directors in 1967,
TCLC has grown to almost four times its original
membership. TCLC's mission is to advance and
promote the best possible research and
scholarship through library cooperation,
collaboration, and educational development.
Students, faculty, and staff of any TCLC
institution have free access to all the libraries in
the Cooperative, plus member libraries offer free
ILL to one another. In addition, TCLC hosts
numerous interest groups and development
activities throughout the academic year. Over the
last forty years, TCLC has attracted as members
college and university libraries both large and
small, becoming a primary source of academic
library resource sharing and staff development in
the tri-state region.
